Patent attributes
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes the steps of (a) preparing an insulating or conductive substrate; (b) arranging a bonding material having sinterability in at least one bonding region of a principal surface of the substrate (i.e., insulating substrate); and (c) sintering the bonding material while a bonding surface to be subjected to bonding of at least one semiconductor element is brought into pressurized contact with the bonding material, and bonding the substrate (i.e., insulating substrate) and the semiconductor element together through the bonding material. The bonding region in the step (b) is inwardly positioned from the bonding surface (i.e., region) of the semiconductor element in plan view, and the bonding material is not protruded outwardly from the bonding surface of the semiconductor element in plan view even after the step (c).
